Chapter 589: A Gathering of Jade-level dignitaries from the Imperial Ancestral Temple

Jiankang, Taimiao.

This majestic city, with a radius of more than 40 miles, was built in the late Three Kingdoms. At that time, it was just a town called Moling. The Yangtze River turned from here, from south to north, then turned east, heading straight to the sea entrance, and Jingkou Town, which was more than 200 miles east, opposite the Guazhou Ferry Crossing opposite, became a must-pass place for northern tourists to cross the river. To the south, it passed through Danyang, Jinling and other places, and went straight to the land of the Three Wus. Zhongshan and Mufu Mountain in the north of the city provided natural defense for this city. Since ancient times, there have been tigers and dragons and dragons, and abundant kingly energy. It can be said that when controlling this city, it almost controlled the entire Jiangzuo land. Therefore, since ancient times, military strategists have to fight for it. After the Eastern Jin regime crossed the river, it was built with it. After nearly a hundred years of operation, today's Jiankang City has a population of hundreds of thousands and a radius of more than 40 miles, which is a super city in the world.

The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. It is already spring. The willow branches are beginning to sprout. The birds are chirping happily. The warm sun has risen in mid-air. It is time. In the words of later generations, this is the sun at eight or nine o'clock, radiating its own light and heat to the fullest, illuminating the streets and alleys of the city.

The Taimiao outside the palace city was already crowded, or in other words, the entire Jiankang City was crowded with people at this time. Hundreds of thousands of people from all directions had already lined up from Zhongshan Gate to the south of the city from the north. The streets were crowded with people, and 30,000 guards in the capital were on duty on both sides of the avenue. The road, about six or seven miles from Zhongshan Gate to Taimiao, would become the main passage for today's military parade and prisoners. The road surface had been cleaned up spotlessly. Water was sprinkled early in the morning. All the people of Jin who were blocked by the sergeant on duty stretched their necks and even climbed up the treetops to better see the legendary style of the Northern Palace strong soldiers who defeated millions of barbarians.

On the high platform of the Taimiao, the officials of the fifth rank and the governors of the fourth rank have gathered here from Emperor Xiaowu of the Great Jin Dynasty. In this era, there was no strict rank and inferior division as in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was still a period of transition from the rank of the rank of the XX stone of the Han Dynasty to the Ninth rank of the Ninth rank of the officials of the later nine ranks. However, it has become a common practice for the officials of the prefectures and counties to see whether to lead troops or not. On this special day today, the monarch and ministers all dressed in formal clothes, stood on the high stairs of the Taimiao, smiling, and looking at the direction of Zhongshan Gate in the distance.

A middle-aged young man with a dark face, slightly curly hair, and a little thick lips, not very much like a Middle-earth person. He was twenty-five or six years old and wearing a yellow robe. He was the mother of the current emperor Sima Yao. He and Kuaiji King Sima Daozi were Li Lingrong, a Kunhua slave who had been a palace slave. By chance, when the late emperor Sima Yu was over fifty, he was lucky enough to give birth to this pair of princes, which can be regarded as solving the problem of no successor to the Eastern Jin royal family.

Since Sima Yao ascended the throne, although he has hardly ever really taken charge of the government affairs, his luck has been good to heaven. Not only is the country stable, but the Jingzhou Huan clan, which has always been aspiring to usurp the throne, has no longer made trouble. Even the Qin army, which has been rampant in the world and destroyed countless countries, was defeated by the Jin army in Feishui. There has been a lot of discussion among the people that this semi-black emperor is a blessing star descended from heaven, and he wants to bless the Han people of the Jin Dynasty, recover lost territory, unify the world, and end this chaotic world.

Beside Sima Yao, the king of Kuaiji, who was the official official of the Shangshu, was also a minister of the imperial court, and the general of the Guard. Xie An, the prime minister of the imperial de facto, as the right purse of the Shangshu, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and many other high-ranking families of the Eastern Jin family. There are also two people who are eye-catching. One is the Huan family of Jingzhou who led troops to Beijing and participated in the prison offer ceremony. Huan Wen, the crown prince of the former powerful minister Huan Wen, and the other is a branch of the Langjia Wang family, the grandson of Wang Dao, the founding prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Wang Xun, who is famous for his literary talent (the name of this person has the character Wang, but he cannot type it out and will also be garbled in copying. I don’t know why, I can only say sorry to my readers and friends. They will call him Wang Xun in the future, but when you check the historical books, you remember that this person’s name requires multiple characters Wang.)

Wang Xun and his younger brother Wang Min are cousins ​​of Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher and formerly the general of the Right Army. However, their relationship with the Xie family was very complicated. Originally, Xie An married his elder brother, General Anxi, Xie Yi, and Xie Daoyuan's third sister Xie Daocan, to Wang Xun, and even married his daughter to Wang Min, a family of two parents. The relationship between Xie Wang and the two families is known to everyone.

But later, the Wang Xun brothers offended Xie An for some reason, so Xie An forced his two daughters and niece to divorce the Wang brothers. This incident caused a sensation in the circle of the upper-class families of the Great Jin Dynasty. Wang Xun originally served as the Huangmen Minister in the court, but he arranged for Xie An as the governor of Yuzhang County and released him outside the land. Wang Xun was angry and refused to take office. Finally, under the mediation of Emperor Xiaowu, he gave him a free position as a regular attendant of the cavalry and continued to stay in Jiankang City. On this special day today, Wang Xun, a high-ranking clan who seemed to hate Xie An (except Wang Guobao), appeared on this occasion and stood with Huan Xuan. His personal mystery is intriguing.

Sima Yao seemed very excited today. He smiled and said to Xie An standing beside him: "Taibao (Xie An awarded Taibao the title of the highest minister after the Battle of Feishui. Although it was a false position, it was still respected and unparalleled). This time, our army won the Feishui victory all depended on you and Xie Zhenjun and their commands properly and the elite soldiers. Today, we can also be proud in front of our Sima ancestors."

Xie An looked calm and saluted: "Your Majesty is too much, mainly because it depends on Your Majesty's power, and the soldiers use their lives to fight the enemy, so that this victory can be achieved. However, this victory is nothing compared to our future feat of regaining the Central Plains."

Sima Yao was slightly stunned, and turned to smile and said, "Why, Taibao means to advance to the Central Plains in the Northern Expedition?"
